Trials == Skill, not Shotguns
Hey,
I know, the FPS fiends love their shotguns but in Trials it's too easy to get kills. Sniping, which doesn't guarantee kills, takes more skill. We're playing Guardians, right? Don't you think the shields would do better against them?
To the haters, try walking without your crutch. 😆
Cheers,
Monk

Lmao Snipers take skill? Every negative robot that gets ran puts a sniper in to get kills.
-
Shotguns are my least favorite weapon archetype in the game. It’s kind of odd because in other games shotguns are some of my favorite weapons, but not in D2.

Is only game. Why you have to be mad?

Snipers [i]do[/i] have a higher skill floor, but at top level play, they just become oppressive to the point that they're miserable to play against. Is it impressive that people can aim that well? Sure, I guess, but I would much rather be able to actually play the video game than be forced to play at a snail's pace because a single mistake means your head's getting taken off. [i]If they're that good then just use them yourself[/i] I do use snipers from time to time, I use pretty much every weapon type in at least small doses, and I gotta say snipers feel the least fun. It doesn't matter how well my opponent is playing, a lot of the time even if I'm being flinched, if I just press shoot at the right time I win. If someone makes the careless mistake of peaking a lane in an fps, the sniper wins. They just feel pretty cheap.

Hahahaha So you're basically saying that in game with absolutely no bullet drop, with a crazy high aim assist value, with a no sense bullet magnetism and with a radar that tells you where people are gonna peak and stay sniping is difficult? Get good boy on countering shotguns which imply at least a good movement skill. We don't want sniper trials meta again where everyone stayed completely blocked in their position waiting for people going into their reticles.

Snipers are also easy to use lol. Bullet magnetism is insane in this game. I've lost count of how many times I've had a sniper shot or throwing knife whiz past me just to kill me a second later

if it's not one thing, it'll be another. Besides, in a highly competitive matchup like Trials, the ultimate goal is to get wins - and people are going to use whatever weapons will help them get those wins - be it a crutch or not. Sidearms act as good counters to SG's - or just don't engage in close encounters by using map awareness and keeping one eye on the radar
-
What do you expect? Population is pretty dead for trials. I just checked and it’s embarrassing considering holiday weekend and it’s clear that nobody want destiny for Xmas

Let me tell you Sniping: EZ Fusions: EZ Shotguns: EZ Handcannons are strong because of peek shooting hence people were not worried about the conversion of 150's to 140's Shotguns have been nerfed and they are fine Annoying when I see an ape? Yes but not golden age felwinters lie annoying

5 RepliesSnipers scare me 10x more than shotguns

4 RepliesWhy don't you learn how to combat shotgun users then. Shotguns are in a good place (before you say anything I prefer snipers) but the problem I have seen too often is people playing into a shotguns strengths. Why do people run at others. With the current Time to Kill why are people letting people run up to them before opening fire. Why are people running into a CQB area with a shotgun camper getting blasted then respawn only to run straight back into that cave.. again and again and again. If people started thinking they would be able to counter shotgun users. Adapt... Improvise.... Overcome.

Sniper are easy too...

Edited by DredLaP: 12/26/2021 5:56:22 PMTrials == skill, not HC’s. They lead in kills. So far this week in trials, 4-5 times more HC kills, than the next best primary. Everyone -blam!- when ar’s were 2 times that of HC’s. But 4-5 is the most balanced sandbox weve had.
-
Neither shotties or snipers take a ton of skill in this game. Both are easy mode. Game sense, movement, having a good primary shot, and winning your 1s is the skill gap

1 ReplyAs long as special weapons, Exotics and abilities are allowed, Trials will never be a playlist where skill is the determining factor. It needs standardised loadouts and for ability usage to be restricted enough that the difference between classes is negligible. If the player count drops dramatically, then it's an admission by many that they can't play unless they have Hand Cannons and Shotguns, and refuse to use anything else; they would say it's because other weapons are unenjoyable, when it's actually because they're just bad at using them.

2 RepliesAll I ever see is shotguns, trash players cant get enough of it. I am forced to use a shotgun myself just to counter their crutch. Anyways its not that big a deal on 6v6, its extremely annoying but its extremely easy for me to get 30+ kills per game due to my smg and killclip melting them before they have a chance at even closing the gap on me. I sometimes feel like I’m fighting a bunch of bots lmao. Anyway the problem is not even shotguns, its the amount of special ammo. The way bungie needs to nerf the special ammo economy is removing scavenger mods hands down the biggest problem in pvp and the other is only allow special ammo drops on primary kills

I‘ve been playing sniper the past months. [quote]To the haters, try walking without your crutch[/quote] Sorry to break your illusion but you‘re the hater.

1 ReplyHi Guardian. Not gonna happen and we both know it LOL! Until a new and innovative anti-SG / HC arena occurs, we're stuck. Best of luck out there!
-
Uh, some -blam!- dev at Bungie decided that shotguns were cool and distance wasn’t relevant so as long as the currents maps/distance covering/shoot-melee thing exist so will shotguns.

Bro I dont think you should play shooter games….
